A Greenwood man has been charged in connection with an incident in which he allegedly raped a coworker who had given him a ride home.

Duncan Ira Vines Jr., 24, has been charged with second degree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the incident.

According to a Greenwood police report, the victim contacted officers on Christmas Eve morning to report the incident, which occurred on Dec. 22. The victim said she delayed in reporting the incident because she did not want to tell her husband or have her children face public embarrassment.

According to the report, the victim said she agreed to give Vines a ride home from work after they completed their shift. The victim said Vines asked her for a ride to see his daughter and asked her to wait while he ironed his shirt. The victim said Vines forced her over the arm of a couch and raped her while he choked her. The victim fled the residence once Vines released his grip on her.

According to the report, Vines sent the victim several text messages saying he was “checking on” her and stating she must be mad at him. The victim responded several times, telling Vines that “no means no” and Vines was wrong for what he did.
